LaRoe's Guide to Successful Remodeling
Every homeowner wants a successful remodeling
project, and so do we. We’ve compiled a few simple
guidelines that can help you towards your successful
remodeling project.
Define what you want
- Identify the problems you have with your
current home. Is it too small? Does it look outdated?
- Identify what you wish you could do in your home. Do
you wish you could spend more quality time with
family? Do you wish you had a peaceful place to work?
- Identify what you want from your home. Do you want it
to be more energy efficient? Do you want a warm
and inviting atmosphere? Do you want your home to make a statement
on who you are?
- Make a list of your needs, wants and priorities to share
with your remodeler.
- Think about what you want to invest.
- Be realistic and flexible in your expectations of what
your budget can accomplish.
Choose the right remodeler
- Find the right remodeler for you and your
project. Look for one that not only does the quality
work you are looking
for, but also someone you can trust and feel comfortable
with. (See Selecting the Right
Remodeler and Questions
to Ask Remodelers and Questions to Ask References for more tips.)
- Consider the value of a design/build
remodeler. They bring the project’s design
and construction all under one roof, offering you
a simpler, safer,
and more
cost effective way to remodel.
Communicate
- Choose a remodeler that is willing to listen
to you and your concerns.
- Share your project ideas, needs, and wants with your
remodeler. Together you can explore your options
and develop the design solution best for you.
- Express your priorities to your
remodeler. They’ll
be able to provide more of what is important
to you.
- Listen to your remodeler, especially when it comes to
deadlines for product selections. This will help
your project stay on schedule.
- Communicate with your remodeler
openly and honestly. Your remodeler cannot address
your concerns if they don’t
know them.
Following the above suggestions will go a long way in
making sure your remodeling project will be successful.
